Impact Evaluation: Key Results • The Minnesota Reading Corps program is replicable in multiple school settings using AmeriCorps members with varied backgrounds. • Age 3‐Grade 3 students who received Reading Corps tutoring achieved significantly higher literacy assessment scores than students who did not. • Reading Corps tutoring resulted in statistically significant impacts across groups with higher risk factors (ethnicity, Dual Language Learners, Free/Reduced‐Price Lunch, lower starting scores).
